    What’s Wrong With My Girl?

    Gertie is about 18 months old. About 4-5 months ago, she got sour crop. After she recovered from that, the flock got worms. We’ve wormed them regularly since. Since she got sour crop, we’ve watched her for recurrence but she hasn’t had it again. I will check her poop again for worms but there...

    What’s Wrong With My Girl?

    This is Gertie. We can’t figure out what’s wrong with her. She barely weighs 2-3 pounds and she’s skin and bones. She eats, drinks water, and does most all normal hen behavior. But she cannot gain weight and she tucks her head in like these photos all the time. She’s also a little listless and...

    Chicken attacked by dog

    I didn’t give her the penicillin... wrong kind. I have given her an Epsom salt bath, treated the wounds now several times with Veterycin and Neosporin (but it has a pain reliever in it... all I have but am going to get something without). She has eaten a little bit of egg and has been drinking...

    Chicken attacked by dog

    One of my Barred Rocks was attacked by my in-law’s dog today. Wounds are mostly superficial from what I can tell... not sure about internal stuff, obviously. I have Penecillin. Just wondering about the injectable dosage OR if I can dilute it with something else and put it straight on the wound...

    Sticky Eyes on Duckling

    Here are 2 pics of her right eye and 1 of her left, which is much better than the right. I can get the right to open up with warm water.

    Sticky Eyes on Duckling

    I have 5 brand new 1.5 week old ducklings, all different breeds. My baby Buff duckling’s eyes, especially her right side eye, started looking odd and then they matted together this morning. She is acting like she feels fine, eating and drinking normally. Could it be a scratch or bite from the...

    Gosling Help Needed

    I have a new pair of French Toulouse Goslings, about 1.5 weeks old. My male, Henry, has a large, hard lump on his right side close to his upper chest/lower neck. It feels like a cyst, but I’m not sure. He’s eating and drinking water. He’s not as active as his partner, Eloise. I’m going to the...
